What error message(s) do you get? If they're not on your screen then they're
probably in /var/log/messages.

As of release 3.5, brltty no longer requires kernel support for the Voyager. If
you're using the old brltty-3.2 which came with RH9 with a Voyager, then that
may be why it isn't working when you use a 2.6 kernel.

Since brltty-3.6 has just been released, I recommend that you ensure that
that's the release you're using. You can download an rpm for it from BRLTTY's
web site, which is at: http://mielke.cc/brltty/

you probably didn't do a "make modules-install" yet.
